I am working on geting a club race here in Maryalnd for On-Road 1/5 scale cars http://lsrcm.com and I was wondering if this system will work on these big cars?
I have a few questions.
#1, From what I have read, the sensor must be placed pointing upwards, but in order to get better signal you guys recomend pointing the transponder thru a clear (unpainted) lexan part of the body, well the windshields are not painted so if we were to install the transponders on the inside of the windshield, which would point the sensors forward at an angle, will the sensors on the bridge pick up the signal??
ALso, how far apart does the transponders and sensors need to be, or better said what is the minimum distance allowed between transponders and sensor?
1/5 scale cars are about 10" tall.
thanks
